Capital Giving

Capital giving is characterized by its transformative nature. Donors who make contributions to advance the strategic priorities of the School become a permanent part of the Westminster experience. From supporting critical building and renovation projects to establishing endowment funds for priorities such as financial aid, faculty support, and curricular exploration and enhancement, capital commitments ensure that the Westminster experience endures generation to generation.

The Westminster Endowment

Our most critical strategic asset, The Westminster Endowment is comprised of nearly 200 individual funds, each one a gift to the School from those deeply committed to Westminster’s mission and purpose. The Investment Committee of the Board of Trustees carefully manages these funds to meet current operational needs while protecting the gift of a Westminster education for generations to come.

We are happy to help you make a gift to Westminster that is meaningful to both you and the School. Please contact Lauren Flores, Associate Vice President for Institutional Advancement, at 404-609-6438.
